CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Run by Only Care Limited, Bramble Lodge is a residential care home in Ilkeston, Derbyshire with 65 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults. That is larger than most homes in Derbyshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from March 2026. 93% of homes in Derbyshire also score 5. In Derbyshire, 81% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
Its CQC rating, from January 2022, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in May 2019, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved.
